Sedona Red Rock Country
tips & insights

When to come

The area can sometimes be very hot in mid summer. The ideal times to come are April to mid-June and mid-September to mid-November (when nature's autumn foliage display of red, orange and yellow colors occurs).

---

Best time for photographing

Take most of your photos in the late afternoon when the sun's low-angled rays intensify the red sandstone hues. Morning light is fine, too, but many of the top photogenic sites are better positioned for late-day shots.

---

Creation

The formations were carved over the ages by the erosive effects of wind, water and ice. They are varied: buttes, pinnacles, canyons and mesas.

---

Why the rocks are red toned

The sandstone acquired that hue because its iron component had rusted (oxidized).

---

Movie location

For 75 years the Sedona area has been serving as a backdrop for Hollywood movies.
